On behalf of Monica Wesley: Research Associate (Staff Scientist Structural Biology & X-ray Science)
Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source ?The Macromolecular Diffraction Facility of the Cornell High-Energy Synchrotron Source (MacCHESS) is seeking to fill a staff scientist position. Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree in a relevant area of science, as well as relevant postdoctoral experience. Those with experience in x-ray solution scattering on biological systems (SAXS and WAXS), macromolecular crystallographic phasing methods, or high-pressure protein crystallography are encouraged to apply. Of special interest are applicants who can take structural biology into the future with the coherent, high-spectral brilliance, time-resolved x-rays expected from next-generation x-ray sources such as Cornell's Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) ??Located on an ivy-league university campus in picturesque upstate New York, the Cornell High-Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) serves a world-wide user base of structural biologists, chemists, physicists, and engineers. MacCHESS is an NIH-supported National Resource providing support for structural biology at CHESS. Staff scientists are expected to initiate and carry out innovative research leading to advances in the application of X-radiation to key challenges in structural biology. In addition, scientists provide support to visiting research groups, collaborate with leading researchers at other institutions, and disseminate information to the scientific community. MacCHESS is a heavily team-oriented environment. Good communication skills, including fluency in the English language, and the ability to work in a group, are necessary. ?? Qualified candidates should send their curriculum vitae and arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to Kathy Dedrick (kd73 at cornell dot edu) 200L Wilson Lab, Ithaca, NY 14853 ??Deadline for application is November 1, 2008. Starting date is negotiable. Cornell is an equal opportunity employer.
